Presentation Patterns for Virtual ALT.NET in August: You pick the topics

I will be presenting at the Virtual ALT.NET meetings during the first two weeks of August.  I would like to present preliminary work from my book on Presentation Patterns, but the VAN administrators and I would like you to select the specific topics.  I re-enabled comments this morning, so vote in the comments for one or more of these topics (feel free to write in other topics around desktop applications):

  1. Separated Presentation patterns.  You know, what are your options, why are they different, and when would you choose one or another for a particular scenario.  Model View Presenter variants and Presentation Model (MVVM). 
  2. "Screen Activation Lifecycle" -- Design patterns and the system responsibilities for systems composed of multiple screens
  3. DSL development within a desktop application.
  4. Test Automation strategies.  How testability impacts design
  5. Event Aggregation
  6. Managing the application shell
  7. Using an IoC tool within a desktop application for extensibility

Thank you, and I'll virtually see you in August.

 

If you're not familiar with the "VAN" yet, here's an introduction from Zachariah Young.

4. Test Automation strategies.  How testability impacts design

5. Event Aggregation

are the 2 that I'd be most interested in.

Also your knowledge on what a good API looks likes/should look like.

Hi

I am interesting in the following ones:

  1. Separated Presentation patterns. Model View Presenter variants and Presentation Model (MVVM).

  2. "Screen Activation Lifecycle" -- Design patterns and the system responsibilities for systems composed of multiple screens

  6. Managing the application shell

I'd like hear you speaking about:

2. Screen Activation Lifecycle

7. Using an IoC tool within a desktop application for extensibility

Thanks

... particularly if you talk about testing other than writing unit tests (e.g. functional testing).

These aren't among your listed topics but I'd love to see a discussion of:

* Common code smells (and associated refactorings) you've encountered specifically when using Separated Presentation (big presenters, etc.)

* Using Separated Presentation patterns for complicated views.
